Forgive Me Tres Changos

Chimp number three has been busy. A heartfelt apology to my fellow contributor, Chimp number two, for neglecting my editorial duties. I dont have much time but I'd like to address something that I've been thinking about lately.

I am a life long gamer. I can still remember getting the NES with the Mario/Duck Hunt cartridge, Pac-Man and Double Dragon.

In fact, few things bring me as much joy as rippin' through the shrink wrap of a new game before even getting it home from the store.
That being said, I have come to realize that I don't need video games I just want video games. This is obvious, but gaming was my main priority for the better part of the last 20 years. Now I find myself barely able to squeeze in a 45 minutes session here and there. I still love gaming, I just have no time for it and my heart and soul is begrudgingly beginning to accept this.
But then again... when I get some time to myself... and my fully charged controller is sitting on the sun room table... "whats that Nazi Zombies? You want me to no-scope you in the face?..." I think to myself. "Ok, I think I can do that."
At the end of the day, I find it hard to think of anything so de-stressing as a good video gaming session.
